For these purposes, an “active reproductive cycle” shall be understood as any stage of care in which a clinical intervention is ongoing or planned for immediate implementation for reproductive purposes, including, among others, ovarian stimulation, in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures or similar techniques, as well as the availability of embryos with a scheduled or pending transfer. Routine follow-up after completion of reproductive treatments shall not be considered an “active cycle”, provided that there is no immediate plan for new interventions.\n- 12.
